Suresh Raina after making a match-winning contribution against the Delhi Capitals at Chennai scoring 59 from 37 balls, he spoke to the media where there were some interesting discussions.

Suresh Raina\'s hits captaincy stint for CSK

After praising MS Dhoni about the stumpings, he mentioned that when Dhoni misses a game, they miss him more as a batsman than as a captain. Suresh Raina feels that he has done well as a leader with the Gujarat lions and says he is ready to take over captaincy if Dhoni decides to give it up next year.
Raina said, “He has done well in the last couple of years as a batsman as well team mentor. So probably you may see me more next year when he is done but I need more of his caliber. But he will continue as long as he wants to play for Chennai, you know him and Chennai,”

Is this a small hint about Dhoni giving up captaincy next year? Or was Raina just casually talking about the possibilities? We have to wait and watch.
